🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a quaint, sentimental world where carnival wonders mask a straightforward moral conflict. It relies on the charming bond between the magician and Alex to contrast the stark cruelty of human jealousy and greed.
What lingers after the simple plot is a gentle, old-fashioned plea for kindness, where a talking chimp embodies more innocence and loyalty than the humans who seek to exploit him. — MovieFinder Editorial
